(Winter) spice cookies

A cookie full of warm winter spices like cinnamon, clove, and nutmeg. After baking, finish with an icing with a hint of kirsch. Delicious with coffee, but even better with mulled wine!

Warm spices, they not only give flavor and aroma to your creations, but also provide depth. You could call them the heart of the kitchen. In the winter months, and especially in December, we seek warmth in our dishes and reach for our spice drawer, and they return in our recipes.
